Analysis 2020 List, Game Plan and Best 22?

[Dubai Quacker]

Hoping to see Stephens debut this weekend.

Watching Gray, Fox and Taylor rotate in & out each week is starting to make the team resemble a bunch of shift workers.

An "insider" on their bomberblitz board spewed out the most horseshit rumour the other day about Ugle-Hagan, where he clearly didn't understand how the draft and trade period works in the first place. Wouldn't put any stock into things you read on there honestly

Please be true!

 

[mtooler]

Which elite ruck would you have gone for with our first pick in the last five years? Or how would you have traded for one?

Tim English probably the stand out hyped draftee post Grundy and Luke Jackson of last year the only other that had tongues wagging.

 

[mtooler]

He will probably be 30 by the time if even he can get on the park

Id be fine with Naismith retiring to force Swans into seriously bringing in a 1st ruck.

I don't, just chewing the fat

Rucks have been gling for 3rd round picks. Although Port Adelaide had a few handy ones last year, think Crows took one.

Preuss and Ladhams probably worth the question, if not already, likely have been sought out already though.

 

[mtooler]

Hard to watch our side sometimes. At least Warner and Gould would make a bloody effort. Id settle for them cleaning up the opposition and showing some heart. Still want Stephens to get a game too, get some minutes into them. I could handle insipid games if the young guys are blooded.

Go me! Cheers for listening Longmire!

 

[mtooler]

matt crouch would be ok, hes on the outer

Not sure he brings anything different to what we already have in the midfield that already isnt working.

 

[mtooler]

So who?

Ladhams and Preuss.

 

[RUNVS]

Not sure he brings anything different to what we already have in the midfield that already isnt working.

and Adelaide's midfield is not exactly tearing it up right now.

 

[scaryness]

Dont know if it was mentioned elsewhere but Rampe said on SEN today that Stephens and Gould are close to playing.

The club has already announced that Stephens and Warner are debuting this week: https://www.sydneyswans.com.au/news/739161/swans-to-blood-two-debutants

So Stephens is definitely the closer of the two

 

[Kummerspeck]

Ladhams and Preuss.

Neither left their current city and there was no indication they wanted to.

Not sure if that's good enough for this board.

We obviously needed to debut Gould even though his scratch match form hasn't been brilliant.

We dont know unfortunately all we can do is guess. Maybe both were offered more than Sydney was willing to pay.

Take 2 out of 3 at least, hopefully it is 3 out of 3 in the next 3-4 weeks though

I was being sarcastic. If their form in scratch matches doesn't warrant it they shouldn't be playing in the seniors, it sends the wrong message to the team.

Both Stephens and Warner performed in the scratch match over the weekend, so deserve their spot in the team. Personally I would have liked to see Wicks named but can understand the coaches wanting to be cautious and not name 3 debutants at once.

100%, there's probably a line as you said too. 3 debutants is a lot in one hit. Wicks will get his chance later.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

none of us know s**t rofl.

Where he will be will depend on what his $$$ offer is which will be based on what he does this year.

If Daniher doesn't get on the park soon his offer from both of us will be dog s**t, pretty sure he knows this.

It's not good enough. If Gould isn't ready I think we should debut Braeden Campbell this week.

Will he?
